How is distance to moon calculated?

The lunar distance is approximately 400,000 km, which is a quarter of a million miles or 1.28 light-seconds. This is roughly thirty times Earth’s diameter. The semi-major axis has a value of 384,399 km (238,854 mi)….Lunar distance (astronomy)

Can all planets fit between Earth and moon?

Short answer: Yes, and by sheer coincidence, they would actually fit quite neatly. The distance between Earth and the Moon is 384.000 km on average (the Moon’s orbit around Earth is actually somewhat eliptical). That is about 30x the diameter of Earth, so Earth itself would fit 30x in the distance.

Is time slower on the Moon?
